Hi all,
Quick question, is there a way too retreive the face that are inside an Uvset, I'd like to select automatically everything in a particular Uvset in mel but can't seems to be able to do it.Can't seems to find the way.
I'd like to do it without looping through each face of the model to check if they are in this particular Uvset.
thanks a lot

global proc get_faces_in_uv_set()
{
string $select_faces_from_this_uv_set = "uvSet1";

string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;
string $current_uv_set[] = `polyUVSet -q -currentUVSet`;
polyUVSet -currentUVSet -uvSet $select_faces_from_this_uv_set $sel;
select -r ($sel[0] + ".map
");
select -r `polyListComponentConversion -tf -fuv`;
polyUVSet -currentUVSet -uvSet $current_uv_set $sel;
}

get_faces_in_uv_set();

Im not sure if this is what you wanted, but lets try.
